The Infiniium MXR/EXR-Series oscilloscope front panel controls provide direct access to the functions needed to perform the most common measurements. Knobs and keys let you directly set vertical and horizontal parameters. You can see the oscilloscope's configuration at a glance.

The oscilloscope uses color consistently throughout the front panel and user interface. For example, the color of the knob for channel 1 is the same color as the waveform for channel 1. All configuration items and values related to channel 1 are displayed in the same color.

The MXR-Series oscilloscopes have the [RTSA] front panel key for the RTSA (Real-Time Spectrum Analysis) mode. At the same location in the EXR-Series oscilloscopes is the [Fault Hunter] key for the Fault Hunter analysis feature.

• To adjust the horizontal position using the controls in the horizontal toolbar, mouse over or touch the horizontal position field and use the resulting controls to set a particular horizontal position (time relative to the trigger at the highlighted horizontal reference point).

Magnifying a part of the waveform using Zoom

• To turn on zoom, press the key or click the Zoom button .

The waveform display area splits into two regions. The top one is the main timebase. The bottom is the zoomed timebase, which represents an expansion of the acquired waveform data. A section of the waveform in the main timebase window is highlighted to indicate the part shown in the zoomed timebase window.

The horizontal scale and position controls now change how the waveform is shown in the zoomed timebase window. The horizontal scale will change the amount of magnification, while the position will change the part of the waveform in the main window that is shown in the zoomed window.

• To turn off zoom, press or click again.

Avoid Overdriving Vertical Input Amplifiers

When zooming on a waveform with the oscilloscope running, be careful to keep the signal within the screen vertically to avoid overdriving the vertical input amplifiers. Overdriving causes waveform distortion and erroneous measurement results.

"ADC clipping" indicators appear when a signal exceeds the input voltage range of the ADC. These indicators can sometimes appear when a signal appears to be within the vertical range of the screen due to DSP filtering, but it really is not.

Adjusting an analog channel's vertical scale and offset

To turn an analog channel on or off, press the channel number key on the front

panel or click the Add Waveforms button . When you turn off a channel, the current vertical scale and offset fields for that channel disappear.

If you are not using a particular analog channel, you can turn it off to simplify the waveform display and increase the display update rate. Functions continue to run on a channel source that is turned off. Data acquisition continues for a channel if a function requires it.

Using an Analog Channel as Trigger

Any analog channel can be used as a trigger source. If you need a trigger but do not need all analog channels, you can use an analog channel as a trigger without displaying it by turning the analog channel display off.

To adjust the vertical scale and offset, use the vertical scale and offset knobs, vertical user interface controls, or Channel dialog box.

The vertical scale knob is the larger of the two knobs for a channel. Turn the knob to make the waveform bigger (fewer volts per division) or smaller. You can also mouse over or touch the vertical scale field and use the resulting controls to set an exact value for the scaling.

The vertical offset knob is the smaller knob for a channel. Turn it to move the waveform up or down.

You can drag the waveform or its ground reference indicator to the desired vertical

offset if the grid is in drag mode .

Choose Setup > Channel N... or click a channel number to open the Channel dialog box, in which you can set the vertical scale, offset, skew, and labels. You can also specify the characteristics of a probe, or perform a probe calibration.

For Keysight Technologies probes that are compatible with the AutoProbe interface, the oscilloscope will automatically set these characteristics (except for skew) after identifying the probe when it is connected to the channel input.

Making Measurements

To make a measurement, either drag a measurement icon to the waveform event you want to measure, or click a measurement icon and use the resulting dialog box to specify which source you want to measure.

Figure 21 Drag-and-drop measurements

For measurements on waveform features, such as those that involve waveform edges, if you click the measurement icon and specify a source, the measurement defaults to using the feature closest to the horizontal reference point. If you make the measurement using drag and drop, the measurement uses the waveform feature closest to the point where you drop the icon.

The most commonly used measurements are available in the drag-and-drop area. Others are available from the Add Measurement dialog box (Measure/Mark > Add Measurement...).

46 Keysight Infiniium MXR/EXR-Series Real-Time Oscilloscopes User's Guide

When you drag and drop a measurement icon on a waveform, the icon outline changes color to match the color of each waveform it touches so you can easily see which waveform will be measured.

For edge-sensitive measurements, a circled number appears in the waveform marker color when you drop the measurement icon on a waveform. This number shows exactly where the measurement is being made. It appears next to the measurement readout in the Results pane. This feature helps you distinguish measurement results from each other when you make multiple measurements on the same waveform but at different waveform features.

Using Quick Measurements

The default [Multi Purpose] key action is QuickMeas (see "[Multi Purpose] Key" on page 41). With this configuration:

• To turn on the quick measurement display, press [Multi Purpose]. The 10 preset measurements defined in the Quick Measurement configuration are enabled and results appear on the screen for the first waveform source.

There are two ways to calibrate an Infiniium MXR/EXR-Series oscilloscope:

•A user calibration, also known as a self calibration, includes the minimum set of calibrations and is intended to be run by oscilloscope users. It can include a time scale calibration.

•A service calibration is performed only by Keysight Service Center technicians.

This chapter describes how to run a user (self) calibration.

5 Calibrating the Oscilloscope

When to Perform a User Calibration

When to perform a user calibration:

• Standard calibration only—When the oscilloscope's operating temperature (after the 30-minute warm-up period) is more than ±5 °C different from that of the last calibration. Be sure to perform a standard user calibration (do not perform the time scale cal)—even if one was recently performed—when environmental temperature conditions cause the oscilloscope's operating temperature to change, such as when the oscilloscope is moved to a test rack or chamber.

• Standard and time scale cal—When it has been more than 1 year since the last time scale calibration, or when you replace the acquisition board.

Calibration Procedure

NOTE

CAUTION

Clear this

Performing a user calibration will invalidate the oscilloscope's Certificate of Calibration. If NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceability is required, perform the procedures in Chapter 6, “Testing Performance,” starting on page 65 using traceable sources.

1 Let the oscilloscope warm up before running the calibration.

The oscilloscope must be warmed up (with the oscilloscope application running) for at least 30 minutes at ambient temperature before starting the calibration procedure. Failure to allow warm up may result in inaccurate calibration.

2 Click Utilities > Calibration....

3 Clear the Cal Memory Protect check box.

Calibrating the Oscilloscope 5

You cannot run a user calibration if this check box is selected. See the following figure.

4 Click Start Frame Cal; then, follow the instructions on the screen.

The routine will prompt you to follow these steps:

a Disconnect everything from all inputs and Aux Out.

b Select the level of calibration you want to perform.

5 Calibrating the Oscilloscope

NOTE

When performing the time scale calibration using the 53220A-010 universal frequency counter/timer, the precision 10 MHz reference is available from the Int Ref Out connector on the rear panel of the 53220A counter/timer.

• Standard Calibration — Time scale calibration will not be performed. Time

scale calibration factors from the previous time scale calibration will be used and the 10 MHz reference signal will not be required. The remaining calibration procedure will continue.

• Standard Calibration and Time Scale Calibration—Time scale calibration

will be performed. This option requires you to connect a 10 MHz reference signal to channel 1 that meets the following specifications. Failure to use a reference signal that meets these specifications will result in an inaccurate calibration.

• Frequency: 10 MHz, max ±41 ppb = 10 MHz, max ±0.41 Hz

• Amplitude: 0.2 V peak-to-peak to 5.0 V peak-to-peak

• Wave shape: Sine or Square

c Connect the 50 Ω BNC cable from Aux Out to each of the channel inputs as

requested.

d Connect the 50 Ω BNC cable to Aux Trig In as requested.

e Follow the directions for calibrating the digital channels (models with MSO

option).

f A Passed/Failed indication is displayed for each calibration section.

If any section has failed, wait until the calibration is complete and then select the Enable Details check box for information on the failures. Also check the cable connections.

5 When the calibration procedure is complete, click Close.

entry in the Offset Accuracy Test table.

14 Make the connections to oscilloscope channel 1 as shown below.

• Where the BNC Tee adapter is used, it is important to connect it directly to the oscilloscope

channel input to minimize ground potential differences and to ensure that the DMM measures the input voltage to the oscilloscope channel as accurately as possible. Differences in ground potential can be a significant source of measurement error, particularly at high scope sensitivities.

• It also helps to reduce ground potential differences if the oscilloscope and DMM are connected to

the same AC supply circuit.

• 256 averages are used in the oscilloscope measurements of this section to reduce measurement

noise and to reduce the measurement error due to resolution.

18 Using the Channel dialog box, set the channel's offset value to 60.0 mV and the

impedance to 50 Ω (or to an offset of 2 V and the impedance to 1 MΩ if this is your second pass through this test and you are using the 1 MΩ input impedance version).

19 Set the DC supply voltage (External Supply Setting) to +60.0 mV (or +2 V for

the 1 MΩ version of this test).

20 Press [Clear Display] on the oscilloscope, wait for the number of averages to

return to 256, and then record the DMM voltage reading as VDMM+ and the scope V avg reading as VScope+ in either Table 8 or Table 9 (depending on which version of the test you are on). Fill in the Verror+ column by using the following equation:

Verror+ = VDMM+ - Vscope+

Verror+ must be within the limits specified by the corresponding Offset Accuracy Limit listed in the table.

21 Change the channel 1 offset value to -60.0 mV (or -2 V for the 1 MΩ version of

this test).

22 Set the DC supply voltage to -60.0 mV (or -2 V for the 1 MΩ version of this

test).

23 Press [Clear Display] on the oscilloscope, wait for the number of averages to

Verror- must be within the limits specified by the corresponding Offset Accuracy Limit listed in the table.

24 Repeat step 17b and step 18 to step 23 for the remaining channel 1 vertical

scale settings in Table 8 or Table 9 (depending on which version of the test you are performing). For each measurement, set both the DC supply voltage (External Supply Setting) and the Channel offset voltage to the positive External Supply Setting value and then to the negative External Supply Setting value in the External Supply Setting column of the Offset Accuracy Test table for each of the vertical scale settings.

25 Move the Tee connector to the next channel input and repeat step 17 to step 24

for the remaining channels.

26 Repeat step 16 through step 25 for the 1 MΩ channel input impedance setting.

This means you should follow the directions exactly as stated except in step 18 you will select the 1 MΩ button instead of the 50 Ω one and all values will be entered in Table 9 of the Performance Test Record rather than Table 8. Also be sure to use the external supply settings and offset values from the 1 MΩ version of the Offset Accuracy Test table as they are different than the 50 Ω version.

12 Change the oscilloscope horizontal scale to the value for the model under test

in the preceding table.

13 Measure the input power to the oscilloscope channel at the maximum

frequency and convert this measurement to Volts RMS using the expression:

For example, if the power meter reading is 4.0 μW, then Vin = (4.0*10-6 * 50 Ω)1/2 = 14.1 mVrms.

Record the RMS voltage in Table 12 of the Performance Test Record (Vin @ Max Freq column).

14 Press [Clear Display] on the oscilloscope and record the scope V rms reading in

Table 12 of the Performance Test Record (Vout @ Max Freq column).

15 Calculate the gain at the maximum frequency using the expression:

For example, if (Vout @ Max Frequency) = 13.825 mV, (Vin @ Max Frequency) =

13.461 mV and Gain @ 50MHz = 1.0023, then:

Record this value in the Calculated Gain @Max Freq column in Table 12 of the Performance Test Record. To pass this test, this value must be greater than

-3.0 dB.

16 Change the scope setup as follows:

a Change the channel vertical scale to 10 mV/div.

b Reset the horizontal scale to 16 ns/div (to display 8 cycles of a 50 MHz

waveform).

17 Change the generator output as follows:

a Reset the generator frequency to 50 MHz.

b Change the amplitude to the value suggested for this scale setting in the

Nominal Generator Amplitude Settings table.

18 Repeat step 8, step 9, and step 10 to measure the reference gain at 50 MHz for

this scale.

19 Repeat step 11 through step 15 to measure the gain at maximum frequency for

this scale setting.

20 Repeat step 15 through step 19 to complete measuring gains for remaining

scale settings for channel 1 in Table 12 of the Performance Test Record.

21 For each of the remaining channels, move the splitter to the channel under test

and change the oscilloscope configuration as follows:

a Click Control > Factory Default.

b Ensure the channel under test is displayed and all other channels are turned

off.

c Set the vertical scale of the channel to 5 mV/div.

d Set the horizontal scale to 16 ns/div (to display 8 cycles of a 50 MHz

waveform).

e Click Trigger> Setup Trigger... and change the source to the channel.

f Click Measure > Add Measurement.... Select the Vertical RMS voltage

measurement, the channel under test as the source, Entire Display as the Measurement Area, and AC for the RMS Type.

g Repeat step 6d and step 7 to step 20 to complete measuring gains for the

channel.

6 Testing Performance

NOTE

Time Scale Accuracy (TSA) Test

This procedure verifies the maximum TSA specification for the oscilloscope.

Description TSA refers to the absolute accuracy of an oscilloscope's time scale. Because TSA

depends directly on frequency of a crystal oscillator, it is comprised of two components: an initial setting accuracy component and an aging component.

The initial setting accuracy component applies to the oscilloscope's 10 MHz OCXO frequency accuracy immediately after a calibration, whether performed at the factory, by a customer, or by a Keysight service center. The aging component scales linearly from the time since the last time scale calibration and adds to the initial setting accuracy component.

Specifications TSA is published as a warranted specification, expressed by the following formula.

The aging component is specified by the 10 MHz OCXO manufacturer while the initial setting accuracy component is derived from absolute frequency measurements of the 10 MHz OCXO in a large sample of production units after a time scale calibration prior to shipment.

These measurements require the 10 MHz OCXO to be powered on for a minimum of 2 hours.

Longer is better to further reduce the uncertainty and allow the OCXO frequency to settle onto the aging trajectory of the crystal inside the oscillator.

TSA = ±(8 ppb initial + 75 ppb/year aging)

To see the number of years since the last time scale calibration, open the

oscilloscope application and click Utilities > Calibration.... The TimeScale entry in the

Calibration dialog box shows the date of the last time scale calibration.

Procedure 1 Make sure the 10 MHz OCXO has been powered on for at least 2 hours,

preferably longer if possible.

2 Configure the E8257D sine wave source to output a 0 dBm (633 mVpp) sine

wave into 50 ohms with a frequency of 10.00002000 MHz. Note: Make sure the E8257D is locked to the GPS or equivalent reference. The EXT REF indicator on the

E8257D will be on when locked.

3 Click Control > Factory Default on the oscilloscope.

4 Set the vertical scale of channel 1 to 100 mV/div. 5 Set the oscilloscope sampling rate to 100 kSa/s (Setup > Acquisition...). (The

resulting measurement will be aliased.)

6 Set the horizontal scale of the oscilloscope to 20 ms/div.

7 Set the measurement thresholds for all waveforms to a fixed voltage level of 0 V

and ±20 mV hysteresis:

a Click Measure > Thresholds....

b Select Custom: level +/- hysteresis from the Thresholds drop-down list box.

c Enter 20 mV in the Hysteresis field and 0 V in the Threshold Level field.

8 Enable a frequency measurement on channel 1. 9 On the oscilloscope, press [Stop]. 10 Press [Clear Display]. 11 Press [Run], wait until 10 acquisitions have accumulated, and then press [Stop].

12 Convert the average frequency value to time scale error by subtracting 20 Hz

and dividing by 0.01 Hz/ppb. Record the result in the Measured Time Scale Error (ppb) column of Table 13 of the Performance Test Record.

13 Record the time since the previous calibration (in years) in the table. Click

Utilities > Calibration... to find the most recent Time Scale calibration.

14 Calculate the specification for Time Scale Accuracy based on the oscilloscope's

last time scale calibration using the following formula:

TSA = ±(8 ppb + 75 ppb(years since last time scale calibration))

15 Compare the measured time scale error to the TSA specification.

16 Record the results in Table 13.
